STEAKS WITH CHIMICHURRI



Steaks with Chimichurri image

I think steak really is the perfect solution for a quick dinner. First, there's a steak to fit any budget, from pricey filets and rib-eyes (if it's a special dinner) to sirloin and bottom round for a regular weeknight meal. Second, steaks can so easily be changed up with different serving sauces. If you haven't ever tasted the bright-green magic of chimichurri sauce (a South American specialty) spooned over a medium-rare steak...oh, boy. You're in for a treat! I like to pile whole or sliced steaks on a cutting board next to a bowl of chimichurri, then let everyone serve themselves. So fresh and fun.

Time 30m

Yield as many steaks as you like, with enough sauce for 8 to 10 steaks

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups packed cilantro leaves
2 cups packed flat-leaf parsley leaves
Small handful mint leaves
2 garlic cloves, grated
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and black pepper
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
Any steak of your choice: rib-eye, filet, sirloin, and so on, about 1 1/2 inches thick
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • First, make the chimichurri by placing the herbs and garlic into a food processor (or blender). Add the vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Pulse it a few times then continue pulsing while adding 3/4 cup of the olive oil. Keep pulsing until the mixture is pulverized, leaving just a little texture from the herbs. Transfer to a bowl, then cover and refrigerate until you need it (you can make it up to 1 day ahead, though it's best to make it the same day).
  • Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. When it's melted and starting to brown, add a steak. Fry until medium rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the steak and let it rest for 3 minutes. (If you're frying more steaks, just add a little more butter and oil to the pan as needed.)
  • Slice the steak. Serve it with the chimichurri on the side.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h3m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 garlic cloves, minced
2 jalapenos, minced
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 handful fresh oregano, finely chopped
2 limes, juiced
1 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon crushed black peppercorns
4 pounds skirt steak, trimmed of excess fat
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the garlic, jalapeno and vinegar in a bowl. Stir in the parsley, oregano, and lime juice. Whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside at room temperature to allow the flavors to marry.
  • Marinate the steak in olive oil for 30 minutes, turning to coat both sides.
  • Preheat an outdoor charcoal grill or oven broiler to high. Remove the steak from the oil and season both sides with a generous amount of salt and pepper; you should see the seasoning on the meat. Grill the steaks on the hottest part of the barbecue for 4 minutes per side, until well charred. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let stand for 5 minutes. Cut the steak across the grain on the diagonal and fan the slices out on a platter. Spoon some chimichurri over the meat and serve with the remaining sauce at the table.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

For the steak:
2 10-to-12-ounce sirloin steaks
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the sauce:
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed through a garlic press
Pinch of red pepper flakes
1/3 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Prepare the steak: Set the steaks on a cutting board and slice them in half crosswise. Using your knife, round out the clean-cut edges so the sides look softer. Use paper towels to pat the steaks dry, then season all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Set aside 15 to 30 minutes to bring to room temperature.
  • Meanwhile, make the chimichurri sauce: Place the cilantro, parsley, onion, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. Slowly pour in the olive oil and process until the chimichurri is semi-smooth, about 4 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush both sides of each steak with the vegetable oil, then cook, undisturbed, until marked, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until a thermometer registers 125 degrees F for medium rare, 3 to 5 more minutes. Transfer to plates and let rest 5 minutes. Serve with the chimichurri sauce.
